I am spending the day at the Microsoft AI tour in London today. It's been great so far but still so much to hear about. If you see me around say hi

That's the end of the MVP Summit 2024. I have had an amazing and insightful time. A huge thanks to the organisers, Microsoft staff and all my fellow MVPs who made my first summit. It was great to meet many of you for the first time.

Thanks to OReillyMedia for sending me a copy of Jonah Anderssons book 🤩

I was happy to contribute the Chapter One quote and be a technical reviewer. Jonah's book is a great resource and well-recommended.

Home again after a great M365Summit so many sessions and lots of things to think about. I like the summit as it shows how broad azure is and a chance to see beyond services I normally use.

Finished moving my blog to astro build once again hosting on azure static apps. Very impressed with Astro as a platform so quick and intuitive yet lightweight.

Managed (if a little unnecessary) to get a perfect lighthouse score with the build as well!

Nice way to finish the week. My new disc for the year 2023-2024 arrived in the post from Microsoft.

It's a great community to be part of and I am grateful for all those who have supported me again this year

I am glad to have removed two more things from my to-do list this evening.

I happily renewed my Azure Solutions Architect and Azure Developer Associate Certifications for another year 🥳
